I'm a bit hesitant to report about these because I don't think they can be purchased out of Japan. But I figured fans would like to see them at least...
Amazon Japan has offered a series of print-to-order shirts from their "Merch by Amazon" line, which is sold in their Bokan Department store. They have included seven different Gatchaman designs, in two colors each.
1 - Gatchaman "College Design" T-Shirt
In white or heather grey
2 - Gatchaman "A Tee" T-Shirt
In black or asphalt
3 - Gatchaman "B Tee" T-Shirt
In white or black
4 - Gatchaman "Ga" T-Shirt
(So called because the symbol is "Ga," the first in the Gatchaman title name). It also has a small image of Ken on the lower left.
In black or red
5 - Gatchaman "tsu" T-Shirt
(So called because the symbol is "tsu," the second in the Gatchaman title name). It also has a small image of Joe on the lower left.
In black or royal blue
6 - Gatchaman "Cha" T-Shirt
(So called because the symbols form "Cha," the third and fourth in the Gatchaman title name). It also has a small image of Jun on the lower left.
In black or pink
7 - Gatchaman "Ma" T-Shirt
(So called because the symbol is "Ma," the fifth in the Gatchaman title name). It also has a small image of Jinpei on the lower left.
In black or orange
And I know what you're thinking... but you'd be wrong. Poor Ryu appears to get the shaft again. There is no "N" T-Shirt listed to complete the title logo. Fan speculation in Japan is that it might be made available next month.
Prices appear to be ¥2,980 per shirt (approximately $27.12 US -an absolute bargain for most Japanese clothing prices). Each shirt is available in men's, women's and youth styles in sizes from Small to XXXL. They were offered for sale on Amazon Japan starting July 2.
If anyone has any success purchasing any of the shirts outside of Japan, please let us know!
